European Parliament Committee for Cooperation with Serbia Chairman Eduard Kukan believes that inclusion of Russia and the US in the Belgrade-Pristina dialogue would end it.

The EU and its foreign policy chief had to show much more firmness and determination in the enlargement process and, above all, in the dialogue between Belgrade and Pristina; the lack of leadership was particularly striking in the absence of a response to Pristina's unacceptable tariffs (on goods from central Serbia) Kukan told Belgrade-based Vecernje Novosti daily.

Serbian Prime Minister Ana Brnabic spoke on Monday in Belgrade with Chairman of the EP Committee for Stabilization and Association of the EU and Serbia Eduard Kukan, B92 reports.

According to the Serbian government, Brnabic told Kukan that membership in the Union is Serbia's strategic goal, but that reform measures should first of all be to contribute to the progress of the state and to the better life of its citizens.

Belgrade is ready to continue dialogue with Pristina, Serbian President Aleksandar Vucic told European Parliament delegation on Monday, BETA news agency reports.

“Serbia is ready to continue the dialogue even in the situation with heightened political and security tensions which are primarily unfavorable to the Serbs in Kosovo,” Vucic is quoted as saying in a press release following the meeting with the delegation headed by European Parliament (EP) official Eduard Kukan.

The Berlin Process gathering in London that brought together Western Balkans leaders could not go without something "short-circuiting," says Ivica Dacic.

"It's been confirmed that wherever everyone from the region gathers, some short circuit occurs. British Foreign Secretary Boris Johnson didn't even come to the gathering, because he resigned. Should we go to some other countries, too?," the Serbian foreign minister asked jokingly.

Eduard Kukan, a Member of the European Parliament and in charge of its relations with Serbia, said today the French President’s statement that it was not a good time for the European Union’s enlargement was only one of the suggestions in talks about the bloc's future.

Kukan told Belgrade-based daily Vecernje novosti President Emmanuel Macron’s opinion that there should not be any European Union enlargement until the block reformed itself was not shared by everyone within the Union.
